Which one the following has maximum reactivity towards HCN?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Reactivity $\propto$ positive charge density on carbon atom of carbonyl group.

Positive charge on carbonyl carbon is maximum in case of HCHO. It is because no alkyl group (+I effect) is attached with it and therefore, positive charge is not dispersed so it is most reactive here towards HCN.
